The Fugitive (1993) - Dr. Kimble saves a little boy's life at Cook County Hospital

One of the best scenes of the movie!
The Fugitive is a 1993 American action thriller film based on the 1960s television series of the same name created by Roy Huggins. The film was directed by Andrew Davis and stars Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Sela Ward, Joe Pantoliano, Andreas Katsulas, and Jeroen Krabbé. The screenplay was written by David Twohy and Jeb Stuart from a story by Twohy. After being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, Dr. Richard Kimble escapes from custody following a bus crash and sets out to find the real killer and clear his name while being hunted by the police and a team of U.S. Marshals.
The Fugitive premiered in Westwood on July 29, 1993, and was released in the United States and Sweden on August 6, 1993. It was a critical and commercial success, spending six weeks as the #1 film in the United States, and grossing nearly $370 million worldwide against a $44 million budget. It was the third-highest-grossing film of 1993 domestically with an estimated 44 million tickets sold in the U.S. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture; Jones won for Best Supporting Actor. It was followed by a 1998 spin-off, U.S. Marshals, in which Jones reprised his role as Deputy Marshal Gerard along with some others of his earlier Marshals team.

​@Stacy_Smith True, however you can see Sam Gerard pondering about it at the end of this scene. It doesn't quite fit the narrative of a doctor who kill his wife in cold blood for insurance money.

[@kidlightning1736]

I love this scene...even though Kimble had alot going on in his own life he still took the time to show compassion for his fellowman.

[@drygnfyre]

It's basically the turning point. Kimble's prerogative was to avoid detection and keep moving. He had no reason to interfere with what he was asked to do but couldn't help himself because he knew the diagnosis was wrong. This ultimately gets him caught. But when Gerard learns that Kimble basically sacrificed a chance to get away to save someone's life, he starts to realize Kimble might be innocent. This ties into an earlier scene when a reporter asked the police something to the effect of "Kimble keeps doing all these good things for people, maybe he's actually innocent?"

This and the meeting with the one-armed man "He's dirty" - Gerard are what get him to start questioning, but he doesn't let up one bit despite that. He has a job, he's gonna do it.

[@larsjohannesson8312]

Life is not Black or White. People are not Black or White. A doctor can still be a killer. Gerhards job is to catch a fugitive. He do not know and he do not care if Kimble is a killer or not. But he learn all the time. And use it like a net.

Always strikes me every time I see this movie how many people saw Kimball walk right by them and NOT ONE person recognizes him.

[@drygnfyre]

Kimball looks like he belongs. He's just another guy wearing a uniform. He doesn't stick out, he just kind of looks like everyone else. Ironically this is the best way to evade detection. Trying to dress like a ninja, appearing like you're nervous to be there, anything like that makes you stick out and can get you caught. Meanwhile if you have self-confidence and just walk around normally (holding a clipboard helps a lot, too), you'd be amazed how little attention you'll detect. There's actually a KZbin channel where guys do this. They will have clipboards, wear hard hats, or hi-vis vests, and just walk right past security. One of them even managed to get into the Super Bowl.

@@charlesgknight yeah, the director apparently looked at the old episodes and said “No way we’re doing that. The guy just had his wife murdered.” The actress was a bit disappointed.

[@jonathancruz5932]

Exactly! He’s innocent from the start

​@@szahmad2416Would be great for a Netflix show but not this movie.

It's not Kimble that changed. It's the US Marshal is now questioning his prior " I don't care" remark.

My favorite part, in one of my favorite movies. Thank you Mr Harrison Ford !

Julianne Moore is very young & beautiful here

What a great scene.

I remember finishing watching this movie, I'm thinking to myself, holy cow I've been on the edge of my seat through the whole thing.

[@jogman262]

Same here. Not a dull scene in the movie. Any other year it might have won the Oscar for Best Picture, but it went up against Schindler's List.

[@jamesbondtraining]

The most moving scene in the movie. Here is a man who has been falsely imprisoned trying to prove his innocence and yet he sees a child whose life is in the balance. He suspects the child either has a pneuothorax (punctured lung) , cardiac tamponade (where the lining of the heart gets filled with fluid) or more likely aortic dissection - where the main artery coming off the heart has been ruptured by the fractured sternum. Either one of these three can be life threatening and need surgical intervention. He is risking getting caught and going back to prison for the rest of his life but his doctor instincts take over and he helps the child in need. Then when Deputy Gerrard finds out that Kimble saved the child's life he must have wondered "Is this man innocent?" IT was the turning point of the movie. Absolultely brilliant acting.

I love this scene!

This scene really captures the spirit of the original TV series.

One of my favorite movies of all time!

love this movie. must have seen it half a dozen times. peak harrison ford + tommy lee jones

"How is the boy doing?" I like that he is even concerned about the boy, even thought he's never seen him.

Even in disguise, these people are heroes.

The best movie of Ford and John ❤

wow thats was pretty emotional actually I love these older movies versus the more computerized movies they make today

Loved every minute of this movie!!!

Remember seeing this when it came out. Really good film. Hard to believe it's been 31 years now.

[@evalramman7502]

Heavy is the weight that descends upon someone snitching out a good person. Beyond that? Wonderful sequence in a great film.

[@CB-xr1eg]

She didn't know he was 100% a good person. Being a good doctor and saving lives doesn't mean you can't possibly have killed your wife. Life isn't always black & white buddy.

Even at 3:40 while fleeing for his life, he has the manners to say "excuse me" to a person walking up the left side of the stairwell. Fully believable Midwesterner.
